Question on Fluid Dynamics book

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on recommendations for beginner-friendly fluid dynamics textbooks. Participants suggest "An Introduction to Fluid Dynamics" by Stanley Middleman and "Elementary Fluid Dynamics" by D. J. Acheson as suitable options. Frank M. White's textbook is also mentioned as a good choice for beginners. Additionally, for those interested in engine design, resources on internal combustion engines are recommended. The conversation emphasizes the importance of selecting the right level of textbook based on the reader's background and interests.

Hi All,

Does anyone here can advise me which of the following Fluid Dynamics is good for Beginner?

Title: An Introduction to Fluid Dynamics: Principles of Analysis and Design
Author: Stanley Middleman
ISBN: 0471182095
Publisher: Wiley

Title: Fluid Dynamics: Theoretical and Computational Approaches
Author: Z. U. A. Warsi
ISBN: 0849344360
Publisher: CRC Press

Title: Elementary Fluid Dynamics
Author: D. J. Acheson
ISBN: 0198596790
Publisher: Oxford University Press

May you advice me if none of above books you think is good?

Just for information, I like a kind of R. C. Hibbeler books such as Statics, Dynamics, and Mechanics of Materials to help undergraduate students understanding the fields

Actually, the main purpose of my interest is Formula One / Grand Prix Engine Design.

Please advance

Tom

Aerodynamics, by John. D. Anderson.

Fluid Dynamics = Garbage (I took both)
 
do you want an undergraduate textbook or a post graduate one?

a good beginner textbook of fluid mechanics is by Frank M. White (Mc-Graw Hill)

Andersonn's aerodynamics is also excellent

If you are interested in engine design you should look up books on IC engines.
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
